Los Angeles December 2026 re-offer — the 144 parcels October left unsold, and LA has halved the opening bid on 142 of them

Registration closes December 1, 1:00 p.m. PT Los Angeles sells these online through GovEase, opening 3:00 p.m. PT on Saturday, December 5, 2026 and closing 12:00 p.m. PT on Tuesday, December 8. Registration opened November 6 and closes, together with the deadline for the deposit, at 1:00 p.m. PT on Tuesday, December 1. October's auction asked for a deposit of $5,000 or 10% of the spend limit, whichever was greater; check GovEase for December's. An owner can redeem until 5:00 p.m. PT on Friday, December 4, so parcels can still come off this list. Winning bidders pay the balance by 1:00 p.m. PT on Friday, December 11. The county adds documentary transfer tax at $0.55 per $500 of the price, and some cities add their own. This is a screen, not a recommendation. Verify everything before you bid.

What this is

These are the 144 parcels Los Angeles offered at its October 17 to 20 auction that did not sell. The county is offering them again on GovEase from December 5 to 8, under the same item numbers, and it has cut the opening bid on 142 of them to half of October's. Items 2388 and 3542 keep October's bid.

Halving the bid brought 50 of the 100 parcels that opened above the county's assessed value in October under it. The other 50 still open above assessed value. The median parcel now opens at 0.84 times what the county says it is worth.

What is left is mostly land nobody has wanted for a long time. 141 of the 144 are bare land. The median parcel has been in default since 2004, and 52 since 1996 or earlier. 81 sit in the high desert of the Antelope Valley, 58 of them in Black Butte. 96 have no mapped road frontage, and 40 are in a very high fire hazard zone.

October's page has the screen we published before that sale and marks which parcels came back. Of the 222 in its deep-discount bracket, 4 are here.

How to read the columns

Bid ÷ assessed is the opening bid divided by the county's land value plus improvement value. Lower means a bigger paper discount. It is a screen, not a verdict: assessed value is a county figure, not a market appraisal, and under Proposition 13 it is anchored to the last change of ownership, so a parcel held since the 1970s can be assessed far below what it would fetch. In default since is the year the county's own record says the taxes on that parcel first went unpaid. Screen puts each parcel in a bracket from that ratio, and Flags names the specific things that cost money. Where the county's assessed value is under $1,000 the ratio stops being a screen at all, and the Nominal assessment flag says so.

What Los Angeles parcels have sold for

Prices from 273 sales at three earlier auctions, each measured against its own opening bid. About one in four bare-land sales went at the opening bid (30 of 111, then 30 of 115). None of the 22 parcels with a building did.

Earlier Los Angeles sales by group: how many sold, how many at the opening bid, above it and under twice it, and at twice it or more, with the median price over the opening bid where a group has 30 sales or more
Group	Sold	At the opening bid	Above it, under 2×	2× or more	Median
Bare land April 2025	111	30	35	46	1.61×
Bare land April 2026	115	30	29	56	1.89×
With a building April 2025	16	0	2	14	too few
With a building April 2026	6	0	1	5	too few
June re-offer of April's unsold June 2025	25 of 71	13	7	5	too few

These describe groups of earlier sales. None of them says what any one parcel below will fetch. A group under 30 sales gets no median and is drawn one block per sale. In June 2025 the county offered April's unsold parcels again, at lower opening bids.

What the screen says

Deep discount: Opens at a quarter of the county's assessed value or less.
Discount: Opens between a quarter and 60% of assessed value.
Near value: Opens between 60% and 100% of assessed value — little headroom.
Above assessed: Opens for MORE than the county's own total assessed value. You are paying a premium on day one, before costs.
Nominal assessment: The county's total assessed value here is under $1,000, which is not what the parcel is worth — it is a leftover from an old nominal-value transfer that Proposition 13 never re-based. Dividing a real opening bid by it produces a large number that means the assessment is tiny, not that the price is outrageous. There is no usable ratio here, so this parcel is not ranked against the others.

Offered before, didn't sell: This parcel was in the county's previous sale and did not sell, so the market has already seen it once and passed. A lower opening bid this time means the county is trying again.
No mapped road frontage: No road on OpenStreetMap comes within 30 m of this parcel's boundary. Land with no road to it needs a recorded easement across a neighbour's land, and without legal access a county can refuse a building permit. An easement does not show on any map, so search the Recorder's index or order a title report before you bid. The parcel page gives the nearest mapped road and its distance.
Very high fire hazard zone: CAL FIRE's Fire Hazard Severity Zone map puts at least part of this parcel in its highest class. A new building here has to meet the state's wildfire construction standards (Chapter 7A of the Building Code), buildings need defensible space cleared up to 100 feet around them, and a seller has to disclose the zone. Get a fire insurance quote before you bid on land you plan to build on.
Paper lot: Under a tenth of an acre with nothing built on it. Too small to build on under most zoning — the classic legacy-subdivision lot that costs money to own and cannot be developed or easily resold.
Burned in the last 10 years: CAL FIRE's fire-perimeter map shows a wildfire over at least part of this parcel in the last ten years. A burn can leave fire-killed trees that have to come down before anything is built, and loose soil on slopes for years after. If the county's record shows a building, check that it still stands. The parcel page names the fire.
Special conditions: The county's special conditions flyer for this sale names this parcel. Its examples are easements, Coastal Commission restrictions and Mello-Roos special taxes, each a limit or a charge the sale does not remove. The flyer does not say which one applies here, so ask the Tax Collector.
Brush clearance charges: The Los Angeles Fire Department lists unpaid brush clearance charges on this parcel. It says a winning bid will not cancel the liens and asks the buyer to request the actual amount once title has transferred.
Weed abatement lien: The county's weed abatement division lists this parcel as subject to weed abatement charges. The county's terms say those liens are not discharged by the sale, so they pass to the buyer on top of the bid.
High fire hazard zone: CAL FIRE's Fire Hazard Severity Zone map puts at least part of this parcel in its High class. New buildings in High zones generally have to meet the state's wildfire construction standards, and a seller has to disclose the zone. Get a fire insurance quote before you bid on land you plan to build on.
Private roads only: Every road OpenStreetMap shows within 30 m of this parcel is tagged private. Driving a private road to your own land takes a recorded easement or the owner's permission, so look for an easement in the Recorder's index or a title report before you bid. The tag is a mapper's note about the road, not a legal finding.
Structure on record: The county's records show something built here: improvement value on the assessor's roll, or a year built on its parcel map. That can be the asset or it can be the liability — a derelict building is a demolition bill, and an occupied one is a possession problem.
Contaminated: The county lists this parcel as contaminated. Its terms leave it to the bidder to find out how badly, and a cleanup can cost more than the parcel is worth.
IRS lien: The county's IRS liens list for this sale names this parcel. Its terms say a federal tax lien is not discharged by the tax sale, so the lien stays with the parcel after you buy it, and the IRS keeps a right to redeem. Call the IRS Foreclosure Redemption Section, (800) 913-6050, before you bid.

Source: Los Angeles County's list for its December 5 to 8, 2026 follow-up auction on GovEase (calosangelesfollowup/1396), read November 11 and 12, 2026, joined by AIN to the 2026B list we published for October and to the Los Angeles County Assessor's public parcel record. All 144 parcels on GovEase's list match a parcel on October's list by AIN, under the same item number. Values, lot size and default year are the Assessor's current roll as read for October; tax status was read again on November 12, when all 144 were still in default. The lien flags come from the county's lists for the 2026B sale, read October 17. Assessed value is a county figure, not a market appraisal: a screen, not a verdict. Redemption runs until 5:00 p.m. PT on December 4, so parcels can still come off this list.

What the tax deed clears, and what it leaves

Cleared by the sale

The delinquent taxes that put the parcel on this list
Mortgages and deeds of trust
Judgment liens, mechanic's liens and other private liens recorded before the sale

Still on the parcel after you buy it

Tax and assessment installments that come due after the sale
Special assessments that were not part of the amount owed, and the liens of any taxing agency that did not consent to the sale
